This section describes the part-payment codes that are available and the associated calculation methods, where PE = pay element. The part-payment calculation methods available for Scottish teachers (STP261, STNEXC and STNINC) are detailed in Scottish Teachers' Part-Payment Calculations.

ResourceLink carries out part-payment calculations if one of the following codes is specified in the Part-Payment Calculation field in Service Condition Maintenance or Maintain Pay Calculation Detail.

CDIP (Calendar Days in Period)

Part-payment amount =

(number of calendar days that employee worked in pay period × PE amount)
total calendar days in pay period

CDIY (Calendar Days in Year)

Part-payment amount =

(number of calendar days that employee worked in year × PE amount)
365

Unless the pay element simple formula is set to /ADT, the Pay Element Amount is derived as the Period Amount multiplied by the Divisor Amount for the employee's pay type, which is derived from the Divisor Set held against the employee's control group.

CDIYFP (Calendar Days in Year Using Full Period)

Part-payment amount =

(number of calendar days that employee worked in pay period × PE amount)
365

Unless the pay element simple formula is set to /ADT, the Pay Element Amount is derived as the Period Amount multiplied by the Divisor Amount for the employee's pay type, which is derived from the Divisor Set held against the employee's control group. Additionally, if the payment is for a complete period then the part-payment amount equals the full period amount.

MFAVP (Monday to Friday in Average Period)

This calculation assumes an average month of 21.67 weekdays. If an employee starts part way through a period, weekdays worked is derived from 21.67 minus number of weekdays up to, but excluding the start date.

For example, an employee starts 5th January 2012, there are 2 weekdays before the 5th, so actual days = 19.67.

MFACTP (Monday to Friday in Actual Period)

This calculation takes as its basis the actual number of weekdays in the specific month, for example, 21 in January 2012, and reduces this by the number of weekdays not worked, giving 19 in the example.

Note: Similar calculations are done when an employee leaves, reducing by the number of weekdays not worked after the leaving date.

RDY365 (Reduce by Days Relative to 365)

The calculation varies according to the circumstances as follows:

Where Daily Amount is derived as the Period Amount multiplied by the Divisor Amount for the employee's pay type (which is derived from the Divisor Set held against the employee's control group) divided by 365.

Further details about pro-rata calculations used for teachers’ pay when the part-payment code is RDY365 are provided in Teachers' Part-Payment Calculations.

Note: The following four calculations are based on the SSP qualifying days set up at Control Group level, which can be overridden at Employee level if required. If SSP qualifying days have not been set up at Control Group level or Employee level, the system default SSP Qualifying days are used instead.

WDIP (Working Days in Pattern)

Part-payment amount =

(number of working days in pattern that employee worked in pay period × PE amount)
Total SSP qualifying days in pay period

WDIY (Working Days in Year)

Part-payment amount =

(number of SSP qualifying days that employee worked in year × PE amount)
Total SSP qualifying days in year

The total SSP qualifying days in year are derived as SSP qualifying days in week multiplied by 52.

Unless the pay element simple formula is set to /ADT, the Pay Element Amount is derived as the Period Amount multiplied by the Divisor Amount for the employee's pay type, which is derived from the Divisor Set held against the employee's control group.

WDIWY (Working Days in Working Year Full Period)

Part-payment amount =

( Annual salary amount ) × number of working days in pattern that employee
worked in pay period
Total working days in year

The work pattern against the employee's main post is used if it exists.

WDIYFP (Working Days in Year Using Full Period)

Part-payment amount =

(number of SSP qualifying days that employee worked in pay period × PE amount)
Total working days in year

WDIWP (Working Days in Work Pattern)

This calculation is based on working days in work patterns, which allows work patterns to be greater than 7 days. You can use more than one work pattern to cover the extent of the same part pay period and also define the day of the work pattern on which the post starts.

The work patterns to be used can be set up against the employee post holding for a pay element either via Employee Current Post Details or Employee Detail Without Post. You must ensure there are sufficient work patterns available to cover the full extent of the part pay period otherwise no payment is made.

If a work pattern does not exist for a day within the part pay period and the pay element post is employee, the work pattern against the employee's main post is used if the MISC > PRATA CALC > DEF MAIN P system parameter is set to Y, otherwise no payment is made.

Part-payment amount =

(number of working days in pattern that employee worked × period amount)
total working days in pay period

WTIWP (Working Time in Work Pattern)

This calculation is based on the hours due to be worked that are set up in the daily session detail of the work pattern. This calculation is similar to the WDIWP calculation except that the session time held against the working days in the pattern is used to determine the Pro Rata amount.

Part-payment amount =

(number of working day hours in pattern that employee worked × period amount)
total working day hours in pay period
